Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has defended the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s fiscal management, maintaining that spending remains prudent despite ongoing concerns about revenue shortfalls.

His comments come amid heightened public debate over government expenditure and fiscal discipline, with critics—particularly from the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP)—claiming the government is underspending.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, December 9, Kwakye Ofosu compared the current administration’s handling of fiscal pressures with that of the previous NPP government. He argued that although both administrations faced revenue shortfalls, the current government has responded more responsibly by adjusting its expenditure accordingly.
